We have all done it.  You come across a design and think:  “I wish I thought of that!”  Then you wonder if the design would still work if you replace wire with willow, and what if the thing that goes over now goes through, and soon you are so involved in the design process that it becomes impossible to let go of the idea.

It is usually easy to justify when you are taking inspiration from someone else’s work, but more challenging when your creative pride and hard work is used by others.
